Baked Babka French Toast Sticks with Chocolate Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 loaf of Babka, cut into 1-inch thick slices
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup of heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
3. Dip the slices of Babka into the egg mixture and let them sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid.
4. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the soaked Babka slices. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
5. Transfer the cooked Babka slices to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, make the chocolate dipping sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and cream together until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
7. Once the French Toast sticks are done baking, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve the French Toast sticks with the chocolate dipping sauce and enjoy!
